I bought a new judogi and it arrived in the mail today its an Atama double weave, the jacket is too baggy (read they all are) and the sleeves are about an inch too long to compete in. Think i could shrink this down to a perfect fit? any tips? The pants fit amazing, great length and quality.

Yeah it isn't preshrunk, I actually might return it for another size I read online their double weave is harder to shrink down and a size smaller might be better for me.

So I finally shrunk my new Atama double weave down to size for Judo class, I love it! It's so hard to grab, I hope it stays like this for a long time.

fawker posted:RE: Neck bridges. You won't hurt your neck, but if you want an easier exercise lay flat on your back and keep your shoulders to the ground and move your head up like you're doing crunches with your neck, do a bunch like at least 30 then do them to the side then the other side. that will help build some muscle.

McNerd posted:Anyway, the new theme of the week is armbars, and there will be at most about five minutes/day of actual live rolling (since it's a beginner class). I guess the armbar from mount is pretty painful and I might have to ask my partner to go easy on that one if we do it, but studying the armbar from guard last night was a welcome relief and hopefully I'll get a little more respite. If you know he locks it in and you won't escape just tap, even before it hurts. It is just practice, then start over until you can escape and not get caught. Much easier on your joints than fighting to get out really hard and having him lock it in.

Bucket of rice works great also try a forearm exerciser, the wooden or steel rod with the rope in the middle that you roll up with a small plate on the bottom.

I'm loving grappling and thinking of adding a BJJ school, there is a decent one in the city I work in and they train a lot. I really like my Atama double weave for Judo, what do you guys recommend for a bjj gi? Is Atama goldweave worth the price? They look like awesome gi's and I'd rather buy one that will last me a long time and spend half on a cheap gi I will have to replace in a few months or hard training. http://atama-kimonos.com/products/kimonos/gold/New%20White/new%20white.htm Or in black, doesn't matter to me I just don't want blue because my Judogi is blue and I leave my house at early hours and I don't want to grab the wrong one.

I'm not using my Judogi, the jacket is like 7lbs and its so loose i'll get wrapped like a mummy in it. The double weave I bought is so thick and coarse its really hard on peoples hands too, way too hot for grappling in doing anything but Judo. I will also need another gi because I will be training 5-6 days a week between the two classes. Thanks for the feedback though, 2+ years sounds great!

Well I wanted to start this week so looks like I will be using my judogi tomorrow for class. Thanks Xguard86 I might buy a Padilla & Son goldweave, that looks like a steal for the price.

Stuck in Elevator posted:Just back from my first BJJ tournament I mentioned the other day. Ended up coming fourth in my weight class out of 19, winning 4 and losing 2 (to the eventual winner and the guy who came third, beating me in the bronze final). Sounds like you had a good time, grats. No one can prepare you for an adrenaline dump not everyone gets them either you'll learn to work on your nerves the more you compete. I learned to get over that back in football days and playing music in bands. Just find a way to relax before you compete.

hopper2k posted:I competed in a very small tournament this past Saturday. Here is my one match in my division, as it was only me, my teammate, and my competitor. He was very tough, choking me from all angles, but I came through on points. I felt good overall, considering I was on the defense the entire time. I am in the white gi. Congrats on the win, and nice video!

Buy a cheap gi on bjjhq.com they have great deals but it might take a few days for a deal to show up on a cheaper gi. Buy a cup and compression shorts from a sporting goods store, for no gi buy an athletic style workout shirt from a thrift store or Walmart and you're all set.

The weave makes the difference in heat, my double weave is brutal to train in. Unless you're outside in the sun the color will not make a difference. The type of weave and weight of the gi will though.

swagger like us posted:Got impetigo/staph/whatever on my thigh the last few days, second time I've got it so Im going super anti-bacteria and I bought myself some Scramble spats. Didnt have the balls to get the rainbow ones, so I got the black ones instead. I figure I'll just wear them under my no-gi shorts for training. Im tired of this grossness and plus I always get mat burn and cuts cause I'm a hairy guy, so Im going full long sleeve rashguard and spats from now on. Anyone try these, like them, hate them? Don't wear shorts over them.

Would have just gotten another one but the Komodo is discontinued, and the CompGS apparently has a really short skirt, and I don't want to take the gamble and find that I don't like it. Not sure about bjj gi's but my Atama double weave judo gi is the best gi I've ever owned.

ICHIBAHN posted:thanks for the advice guys. in taking it all on board. I've ordered under armour, should be here for my next class. noticing a lot of cuts on the base of my feet though. anything I can wear to prevent that? Is your skin really dry causing your feet to crack? If it is then moisturize your feet with foot cream. If they are literal cuts then it could be from peoples toenails and you could ask them to clip their nails!
